Do you also have code in the InterActiveChange of the checkbox other than a Refresh command? If so, do you also have a DODEFAULT() command? The main point is that issuing a LockScreen has nothing to do with the value status of a checkbox. There is something else causing your problem.
Mark,
I put lockscreen=.T. in the deactivate event and lockscreen=.F. in the activate event of the main form to avoid the flicker screen when, called a child form, you return to the main form: the noise is visible expecially when the child form
has a different backcolor. If I put that code I do not have the noise. This code, instead, has to do with the refreshing of the checkbox: you're right when you say that the code does not change the value status of a checkbox, but the user see the value change only when the focus is on another object. To let the user see the value change immediately, when he clicks on the checkbox, I must put in the interactivechange of the checkbox the code 'this.refresh'. If you have many checkbox, as I have....
